Forks of the Delaware TIN LIZZIES
Happy New Year Nobles,
Congratulations to Illustrious Sir
Jared Kichline, the Divan and to all
appointed and elected officers for
2018. Best wishes for a successful and
productive year, and congratulations to
our club’s new president, Noble Bruce
Johnson. Bruce is a past president and
will do a terrific job in 2018. Thanks
also to outgoing president Henry Faust
Sam Ellis
who did an outstanding job leading the
club in 2016 and 2017
At our Christmas Dinner at the Northampton Community
Center in Northampton, Sam Ellis was named Tin Lizzie of the
Year, proof that you can fool some of the people some of the
time. Noble Ron Barron picked up a special fun award. Ron
was also chairman of this year’s event. Along with Ron and his
Lady Cheryl, many nobles and ladies contributed to the success
of the Christmas party. Thanks to Henry and Patricia Faust, Bruce
and Sally Johnson, Garrett and Katlyn Newhartz, Lee and Joyce
Marsh, and Sam and Kay Ellis. The food was great, and there were
lots of gifts, and good entertainment.
Another highlight of the Christmas dinner was the presentation
of a commemorative slate clock to Illustrious Sir Dave Evans and a
Christmas bouquet to Lady Sarah. It is our way of congratulating them
for a job well done.
The Officers and nobles of the Tin Lizzies are anticipating a busy
year with our Shoofly Pie baking project resuming this month. We
bake and sell an average of 400 to 500 pies every other week until
June and beginning again in the fall. We bake at St. Johns Church in
Farmersville and we’re always looking for volunteers to help. It’s a
fun morning and we even serve lunch. If you’re interested in getting
involved, contact Sam Ellis at 610-390-6188.
On a sad note we lost two valued members in January, Nobles
Myron Hahn and Leroy Kromis. They will be missed

Evans with a slate clock that featured an
engraving of his Potentate Logo.
Many thanks to Ill. Sir Dave Evans and Lady Sarah for a great year. Rajah stays strong because of the
hard work of its leadership. Welcome to Ill. Sir Jared and Lady Kim. 2018 will be a year full of progress
and growth for sure. There had been a rumor that the Divan had been directed to grow beards so the
official family would look like ZZ Top, but the rumor proved to be false.
Lebanon County Shrine Club needs member support to attend its meetings. We are in danger of not
being able to hold meetings because only a handful of members are attending. Come out and support us
on the fourth Monday and bring your Lady. Contact Sec. John Bainbridge Jr. at 717-272-5466 and make
your reservations.

We are getting into Circus mode and selling ads. February will be our Circus Night meeting at Midway
Diner with the Circus Chairmen from Rajah and Zembo in attendance. Maybe some clowns will do some
clown stuff like wreck the place. It is always great to be a Shriner.
